The Key Word — אוֹדְךָ֖, 'od.Khagenerated
The verb יָדָה (*yadah*) means to give thanks or praise, and is often associated with worship. It originates from a root that conveys the idea of throwing or casting, symbolizing the act of extending hands in gratitude or adoration.
In this verse, the psalmist uses this verb in the first person, indicating a personal commitment to thank the LORD. The form used here is hiphil imperfect, suggesting an ongoing action of giving thanks, which reflects a continuous attitude of gratitude.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is אוֹדְךָ֖, I will give thanks, which governs the structure. The psalmist expresses this action with two phrases: a prepositional phrase indicating where the praise will occur and a second clause that describes what he will do.
The sentence structure emphasizes the act of praising the LORD among the nations, highlighting both the subject's action and the intended audience.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates אוֹדְךָ֖ with ἐξθρῶν, which also conveys the idea of giving thanks. This choice maintains the original meaning while adapting it to the Greek context.
The use of ἐξθρῶν suggests a similar emphasis on public acknowledgment and worship, aligning with the psalmist's intent to praise God among the Gentiles.

It seems almost too magnificent a thought in David, that he could draw the surrounding nations within the circle of the religion as he had drawn them within the dominion of Israel. Nor is it likely that an individual would use such an expression. Israel as a nation might praise God “among the nations.” Therefore this verse is adduced as an argument by those who assign a later date to the psalm. But perhaps we are only to think of the nations as brought (see Psalms 18:44) an unwilling audience of the praises which the…

Will I give thanks unto thee - among the heathen] Quoted by St. Paul, Romans 15:9, to prove that the calling of the Gentiles was predicted, and that what then took place was the fulfilment of that prediction. But there is a sense in which it applies particularly to David, well observed by Theodoret: "We see," says he, "evidently the fulfilment of this prophecy; for even to the present day David praises the Lord among the Gentiles by the mouth of true believers; seeing there is not a town, village, hamlet, country, nor even a desert, where Christians dwell, in which God is not praised by their singing the Psalms of David."

The celebration of Jehovah’s faithfulness to His servant is not to be confined within the narrow limits of Israel. His praise is to be proclaimed among the nations, which, as they are brought under the dominion of His people, may eventually be brought to the knowledge of Jehovah. Cp. Psalms 96:3; Psalms 96:10. This verse is quoted by St. Paul in Romans 15:9 (together with Deuteronomy 32:43; Psalms 117:1; Isaiah 11:10), in proof that the Old Testament anticipated the admission of the Gentiles to the blessings of salvation.
